Delightful, old style hotel in a fantastic central location!
Pros:

A wonderfully located hotel within walking distance to all tourist hot spots and harbour front.
The front desk staff very friendly and welcoming.
Breakfast buffet was plentiful and beds comfortable.

Cons:

The hotel is an old style hotel and the decor may appear a bit dated but it adds to the ambience of an older style hotel.
It's not a criticism more an observation......

Classy stay
Pros:

A very nice hotel in the city center, somewhat anonymous, but definitely one of the better and more "classy" stays you can get in Oslo. I saw absolutely zero kids here, and there was total calmness in the hallways. I heard nothing from other guests, but I think the place was fully booked. Excellent breakfast, only thing is that their carpeting makes it hard to roll a heavy suitcase.

Enjoyable stay in the centre of Oslo.
Pros:

The Bristol is a traditional hotel of the old style, which was what we expected. We had a comfortable bed with a well equipped bathroom on the 6th floor, so very little traffic noise. The front of house staff were helpful and friendly without exception. The breakfast offerings were substantial, with something for all tastes.

Cons:

We didn't like the complete absence of drawers and the fact the wardrobe storage had no doors so the contents were always on display. The hairdryer was in the bathroom and there were no sockets near the desk/table so I couldn't use my own hairdryer.

Excellent hotel
Pros:

Amazing breakfast, with vegan and gluten-free options. Great spa

Cons:

Noisy street.
The laundry service is ridiculously expensive (3000 NOK for a standard load). At this price, it would make more sense not to offer this service.
